This recipe was shared with us by Coast to Coast Farm:
"Use your favorite crust recipe! If you don't have one, just let us know. Double it for making chicken and broccoli hand pies another night this week! I prefer to pre make pie crusts and keep them in the refrigerator or freezer to pull out for a quick meal.
Roll out your chilled pie crust on a floured surface. Place in a 9”pie dish or tart pan. Then let chill in the refrigerator for 15 min before you prebake the crust. "
Filling
2 cups of roughly chopped greens. We love using one or a combo of, mustard, spinach, or kale. A great way to use up any greens you have that are nearing the end of freshness.
½ medium onion
3 cloves of garlic finely chopped
2 tbsp cooking fat of choice
2 tsp salt
1 tsp nutmeg
Pepper to taste
1 cup of cheese of choice. We use what we have on hand-feta, goat cheese, shredded cheddar, gouda. Anything works!
1 cup of whole milk, or cream we have used both with success.
1 cup of full fat sour cream or creme fraiche
6 medium eggs or 4 large eggs
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375. Partially pre bake or blind bake the crust. For 15 min. Remove from the oven and set aside while you make the filling. Reduce the oven heat to 350.
In a medium pan on medium heat, melt or heat cooking fat for a few minutes. Add in onions and garlic and let cook to soften for about 5 min then add the roughly chopped greens to the pan. Saute together until the greens are tender and brightly colored. Remove from the heat and transfer all of the greens, onions and garlic to the crust and spread evenly on the bottom. Add cheese on top of the greens in the pie crust and again set aside.
In a medium bowl beat eggs, then add milk, sour cream, salt, nutmeg and pepper. Whisk until well combined. Pour into pie crust, some of the veggies and cheese will float to the top and some will stay put. It will all bake together and be beautiful! Put the quiche in your preheated oven for 40-45 min or until just set. Allow it to set out of the oven for 15 minutes before you cut it.
I like to set the pie dish on a cookie sheet while it bakes, just in case you have any spillage! Enjoy
